Overall Goal:The Different Senses and its function
LI:
The Human Eye LI: To understand how the eye works and the different parts that makes up the eye. How did you feel when your sight was taken from you?- It felt like I was going in circles- I felt like I was spinning in a vortex- Disorientated- Helpless and dependent on my partner- Like a blind person- I felt scared that I would fall or bump into something - I did!- I kept thinking that there was a step or fall- I felt like I was in a room with big walls- I felt like I was stuck and couldn't do anything.
Table of Observation: Note down what you observe after each experiment.
Malt Vinegar
White Vinegar
Baking Soda
Baking Powder
Discussion Points Before Experiment:
• Before students add the baking soda / baking powder to the vinegar discuss what they think will happen?
Student answers before our topic on Volcanoes: Prior Knowledge: Caleb: Bubble up and be foamy. Ben: It might cause a chemical reaction. Causing what Caleb said. Georgia: It might rise and fall out of the container. James: It might explode. Imogen: It will be bubbly and fizz up.
• What are the differences between mountainous volcanoes and underwater volcanoes? Student answers before our topic on Volcanoes: Prior Knowledge:Xander: Underwater don't explode. Stephanie: Underwater is under water and mountainous ones are in the mountains. Braden: Underwater volcanoes can rise up. Ryan: Underwater can bubble under water. Hannah: Under water volcanoes can create Islands and mountainous one can create hills and mountains.
Aim
LI: To examine the chemical reaction between acids and bases.
Materials
• Vinegar • Baking soda and baking powder • A large spoon • Glass container (Conical flask) • Plastic / baking tray (to place under the volcano to contain the mess!) - Food colouring, red and yellow. You can have red only if you like.
Methods
1. Add about half a glass of vinegar to a glass container (conical flasks work very well).
2. Mix in a few drops of food colouring.
3. Add a large spoon of bread soda or baking powder.
4. In addition, get students to use the web and/or their school library toresearch the discussion points below and the worksheet questions.
The volcano should erupt nicely. If you wish the volcano to erupt over the container just use more vinegar and bread soda. Care should always be taken with food colouring as it does stain clothes.
After the Investigation Discussion Points After Experiment: • After the reaction discuss how swapping the vinegar with water would affect the results?
• Discuss what happens when pressure of gases builds up in a confined area. • Discuss where in the world you would find volcanoes on land and under the sea.
For our first science experiment we will be focussing on WATER. We will begin our investigation by describing water in our class water log. Before we begin, we will go over some science terminologies. Some examples are listed below.
Before the Investigation: Look at the properties of water
Water Observation (Discuss in kagan group, 2 to share)
Materials: 7 Cups, Water
Discussion Points: What does it smell like? Describe the texture. What does it look like?
Name things that look and move like water (Discuss in Kagan group, 4 to share)
Investigating: the 3 properties of water
There will be 3 investigation areas. Follow the steps and everyone will need to write (in detail) what they have discovered under each investigation.
In your log book fill in the investigation number, what you did, what you saw and what you learned. Do this after each investigation.
Water Investigation 1: What happens when water is put into a container? Water Investigation 2: What happens when water is poured onto a slanting surface? Water Investigation 3: Can you fill a bowl with water above a rim?

Tongue:
